Refreshing professionalism

We played Greenfield Plantations numerous times and loved both the welcoming friendliness of staff and the golf course. We played River Club, its sister club and were disappointed. However, it was all due to a misunderstanding. Received a much appreciated call from club management and misunderstanding was addressed. Truly refreshing to see the strong customer focus exhibited by management. Thank you!!

My go to course!

River club never disappoints. From the pro shop to the 18th green it’s a great experience. Komodo’s to the entire staff for keeping the course in such nice shape!

Great course

I have played this course many times over the

last 6 years and watched how it has come along. Tony has done a great job of fixing up

the course and has made many improvements.

I have never seen this course in excellent shape until my most recent round. The pace of play was slow.

Friendly staff. Will come again

First time played this year, course has improved since we played 12 months ago. Nice layout, a couple of the tees and some patches of a couple of fairways were a bit soft but overall it's in a reasonable condition and will definitely play again within the next couple of weeks. We arrived before our tee time and went out straight away with no hold ups on the course until the last few holes where we caught a slow four ball. Good value for golf at this time of year.

4 groups on second hole...

We arrived to the second hole - par 3 - to find ourselves as the 4th 4-some on the hole (a 160 yd or so par 3). We had a flight to catch later in the day and the idea of this type of a glacial paced round did not appeal. Perhaps it was just the day, The gentleman in the pro shop was nice. Didn't see enough of the course to give it a grade but what I saw was commensurate with the cost.

Lovely Parkland Layout

River Club is a really nice layout where demanding small greens make up for minimal elevation change in terms of shotmaking. The course is on outstanding shape especially considering how dry it has been this year - very good irrigation all over. Pace of play was 4:25 which isn’t that bad for a weekend. Very friendly staff including marshals. This will be my regular upgrade from my usual home course and at GolfNow prices is an outstanding value compared with neighboring courses.
